Rattler Warning

Turns out, even beheaded rattlesnakes can be dangerous.

That’s what 53-year-old Danny Anderson learned as he was feeding his horses this week when a 5-foot rattler slithered onto his central Washington property, about 50 miles southeast of Yakima.

Anderson and his 27-year-old son, Benjamin, pinned the snake with an irrigation pipe and cut off its head with a shovel. A few more strikes to the head left it sitting under a pickup truck.

“When I reached down to pick up the head, it raised around and did a backflip almost, and bit my finger,” Anderson said. “I had to shake my hand real hard to get it to let loose.”

Childless — Just Like That

As we knew it would, time continues on. Late this afternoon (11-15-05) will be two weeks since the five Schrock children were killed in an auto wreck in Washington State.

As we knew it would, time continues on.

Late this afternoon will be two weeks since this happened:

Pronounced dead at the scene were Carmen Joy Schrock, 12; Jana Louise Schrock, 10; Corina Jean Schrock, 8; Jerrill Burdiette Schrock, 5, and Creig Allen Schrock, 2.

In the course of the subsequent week, I sent out four reports to email subscribers of The Roth Report.

Since You Don’t Have Long to Live…

Got logic? A sentence for murder should be short if the victim had only a short time to live anyway?!

People’s logic defies logic sometimes.

We step into a story in progress in Tacoma, WA:

“The man was 69,
he wasn’t going to live forever,”
she said.

This here-unidentified “she” is upset because some 19-year-old relative of hers got sentenced to 30 years in prison for beating a 69-year-old man to death.

So when she’s nigh-70, is she voting to be beaten to death by some thug who could then get off with a 30-day sentence?

Amazing!
